Outdoor spaces are highly desired by homebuyers young and old. If you have been evaluating your home’s outdoor space potential and are ready to make some improvements, consider the following:
- The flow from the inside to the outside –Glass folding door/walls are the newest rage, but if that is too costly, then look for more ways to let in more light and the view by changing walls into windows.
- Creating rooms – Through seating, places to put down drinks and books, plants, and even rugs to define spaces, create a sense of comfort by defining different spaces to relax.
- Getting cozy – Today’s outdoor furniture includes robust couches, coffee tables, and chairs with ample weather-resistant cushions.
- Checking out the lighting –Lighting in the garden, around seating areas, and highlighting certain garden features can have big impact!
- Power! – Adding outdoor power outlets allows you to do things like charge your phone and work on your computer while lounging.
- Music – Outdoor speakers that are hooked into a central sound system can also set the mood.
- The Fun! – Now for the extras! What kind of recreation do you want? A fire pit? Out- door Kitchen? Horseshoes?
Of course, if you are just creating outdoor spaces to appeal to a wider range of homebuyers, you should make different choices than if you are actually planning on enjoying your space for several years to come.
